Smart Tags and the Microsoft Problem Revisited: _“Moral rights are a package of intellectual property rights granted to the original creator of a work, and include:

  • The right of integrity;
    • The right of attribution;
      • The right of disclosure;
        • The right to withdraw or retract;
          • The right to reply to criticism.
          “ Michael Fraase says in his article that these rights are actually written into law in many countries.

I’m all in favor of an increased awareness of what makes sense as the rights of a creator and what makes sense for intellectual property holders. (I think there should be more of the former and less of the latter.)
